DVS to expand ban on imports of pork and pork-based products


PETALING JAYA: The Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) will be expanding a temporary ban on imports of pork products from six countries, including China, to cover more items.

The previous ban since Sept 18 was for live pigs and frozen pork products (usually meat) from China due to the discovery of the African Swine Fever (AFS) virus in some of its exports.
